I am sure they must have run into shortage of supply of fruit. It is very rare to see fresh soursop fruit in the local market here.

He showed Abang Ngah the Cheng Ho memorial building near the river at Telemonng. According to him many believed that the sadmiral, a Muslim, was buried on the river bank not far from the memorial. I am very curious about the content of this book, and will no doubt get a copy for Mi.

I remember during my childhood days, there was soursop tree just next to my grandmother's house and I was the only 'cucu' who plucked the ripened one and ate it with relish as the others did not like the taste. Alhamdulillah, the equivalent 'sekangkang kera' which is really a small patch behind my house is also a joy for my wife to plant her knick-knacks like 'bunga kantan' and 'daun pandan' and other sweet smelling flowers.abdulhalimshahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238556448779778756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31195147.post-22403908607858187032013-10-20T00:30:04.670+08:002013-10-20T00:30:04.670+08:00Salaam Abang Ngah!

In the fifties (1950's) we bought books by post from a couple of bookstores in KL. Unlike today,those Pan Books cost about 1.20 ringgits each - without the high quality paper, colours and binding for which we are paying highly today.
